On the Rampage and Pandemic

de Marius Tucă    |    12 Oct 2005   •   00:00

It took only a few dead hens for our authorities to be mocked of. The avian influenza announced during the week-end quickly transformed into an "aviate influenza" for the ordinary people that gathered with all their stuff to defend their hens, ducks, geese and other poultry. Before the pandemic avian influenza appeared in our country, a country with eagles and roosters, the people were on the rampage. It is a state that spreads a lot faster, and the same Romanian authorities helped spreading it by announcing the presence of the avian influenza even if it weren’t any signs of it in Romania. It looks like all the people that met the chickens in Ceamurlia de Jos got on the rampage and sent it to all the Romanians, which panicked the people and made the authorities hysterical. It’s a good thing we are talking only about Ceamurlia de Jos because it would have been a lot worse if the same thing happened in Ceamurlia de Sus. The guys that went to a local to take his chickens had been very close to having their balls cut, since the villager sworn with his hand on the rooster’s crest that he prefers killing and eating the hens and dying afterwards than giving them away! The specialist didn’t know one thing about the pandemic avian influenza: the people care a lot about their poultry! Speechless, probably because of their white masks on their mouths, the authorities have to settle for the chickens on the streets of the village The Romanian authorities are not the only ones with the heads in the clouds when talking about chickens. Here’s what the UN coordinator for the avian influenza, David Nabarro, stated: "At a certain time, pandemic will appear, but no one can tell for sure when this will happen. It could be moderate, serious or extremely serious. I don’t know when or where it will take place, but I know it will appear". This is a statement that clarifies forever the problem of the pandemic from the avian influenza, making it a rampant unknown, but don’t ask me to tell you more about it…

P. S.: After I had just finished writing this article I heard a newsflash: two bodies had been brought to the Suceava Sanitarian-Veterinary and Alimony Safety Direction. One was a pigeon that had died from a gastric ulcer and the other was a rooster that had died because he was too old.
